Review by Gordon

Overall Rating

There are a lot of books about biblical archaeology but few provide the kind of context that this book provides. Anyone who is interested in biblical archaeology will want this book for the way it sets discoveries, some as recent as the last year or two, into the context of the biblical text. Archaeologists will tell you that artifacts ripped from their context are of little value. Artifacts set into their biblical context, as seen in this book, increase their value manyfold.
